UV Skin Sensor Technology

Kimberly-Clark has developed a portable UV detection apparatus that can let the user know what type of sunscreen is needed based on outdoor conditions (UV intensity) and skin type/condition. The apparatus includes a UV detection device, a skin type measuring device, and a controller. The controller receives info from the skin type measuring device and the UV detection device and provides information to the user regarding the amount of ultraviolet radiation present in the environment and what SPF lotion to use. Other permutations are also possible.
